Chapter 52 Madam, long time no see

Dapeng Niang burst into tears and smiled, her weathered face brightening, "I'm happy."

Dapeng entered the house and saw his mother's eyes were red. He hurried over and asked worriedly: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Dapeng’s mother lovingly touched her son’s head and said, “Mom is fine. My son will wait. When mother saves enough money, she will send you to school.”

Once he heard this, Dapeng turned to stone, a smile froze on his face, and he coquettishly said, "Mom, I don't want to go to school."

  He would get slapped in the face if he went to school, so he didn’t want to go to school.

The kindness on Dapeng’s face disappeared instantly, and she pinched his ears, “What? If you are picky about your studies, you will go to heaven.”

Dapeng was stunned and asked for help, "Nai, your grandson's ear is about to be ripped off, please help me."

Grandma Dapeng knew that her daughter-in-law was sensible, so she smiled and said, "Your mother is right, you should teach her a lesson too."

Dapeng didn't expect that even his grandmother, who loved him the most, would ignore him. He immediately gave up and said, "Mom, I was wrong. I'm going to school. I'm going."

 Dapeng Niang sighed and scolded with a smile: "The brat has a beautiful idea, Shu Xiu hasn't found it yet, you can think about it slowly."

 Dapeng: “…” It’s too difficult for him.

Xiao Zhi rode to Zhuxi Village.

 When villagers see outsiders coming to the village, they are subconsciously vigilant.

At the entrance of the village, a man had the courage to stop him, cupped his hands and said, "Master, I wonder why you came to our village?"

Xiao Zhi glanced at the man condescendingly, got off his horse, played with the reins with his slender fingertips, and made an excuse casually, "I want to go into the mountains to collect herbs. Is there anyone in your village who is willing to lead the way? I would be very grateful."

He restrained his aura, but the magnanimity revealed in his words and deeds made people dare not despise him.

The villager said: "This matter must be discussed with the village chief. Sir, please come with me."

 Xiao Zhi felt his heart tightening as he got closer to that person.

He was a little nervous, and his expression looked very cold and stern, which made the village man who was leading the way mistakenly think that the noble man was dissatisfied with him, and he felt uneasy and at a loss in his heart.

Xiao Zhi thought that his wife was a lover of colors, so he lowered his head and looked at the clothes on her body.

Wearing an azure colored silk brocade robe with carved precious flowers and a belt around the waist, it should not be disrespectful.

 Thinking about it this way, I felt a little relieved.

 After half a stick of incense, Xiao Zhi was taken by the villagers and met the village chief.

Village Chief Shen was surprised and happy when he saw such a noble man coming to the village, and he immediately cheered up.

When he learned what the young master mentioned, his mind was spinning rapidly...

The majestic image of Shen Nian dragging a big insect flashed before his eyes.

“There is someone in our village who can hunt tigers, but he is still a girl. I wonder if you would mind, sir?”

Xiao Zhi thought about it and said, "As long as you have the courage and are familiar with the mountain roads, you can do it."

Hearing this, the village chief felt relieved and said to the man leading the way: "Second son, hurry up and call Shen Nian."

Shen Nian heard that a very handsome young man came to the village, so he came to watch the fun.

Hearing his name, he poked his head out of the crowd and said, "Uncle village chief, I'm right here."

 The girl’s hair was tied with only a hairband, and she was wearing a green skirt. Her watery eyes were bright and lively, and she had a bright smile on her face...

Xiao Zhi looked at her steadily, his heart filled with sadness, and a kind of ecstasy that had passed a thousand sails welled up from the depths, with an unstoppable momentum.

Madam, long time no see.

Shen Nian walked out, looked at Xiao Zhi, and said with a smile, "My name is Shen Nian, what's your name?"

 A very familiar opening line.

Xiao Zhi's heart was like a galloping horse, his fingers trembled slightly, and his fists were clenched tightly, so that he could not lose his composure in public.

 He is a stranger to the present wife and should not be rushed.

 After mentally building up a few times, he said, "My name is Xiao Jinzhi."

Shen Nian smiled and complimented casually, "Your name is so nice." In fact, it was just a polite word, and he didn't know how to spell his name.

Village Chief Shen's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw how bold she was. He was afraid that the noble lady would be angry, so he pretended to scold her, "Sister Nian, please don't speak nonsense."

"It's okay." Xiao Zhi glanced at him. It was obviously a very dull look, but it made Village Chief Shen have a thin layer of sweat on his back.

 When he turned to Shen Nian, his eyes were a little softer.

“I heard that the girl has the power to fight tigers and is very familiar with the mountain roads. I wonder if she would be willing to take me into the mountains?” His voice was gentle and it was hard to make people feel bad.

"Okay." Shen Nian agreed. To her, going up the mountain was like a play. She was just taking one person with her, so it was easy.

You can also earn money by doing things along the way, killing two birds with one stone.

A smile flashed across Xiao Zhi's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said, "Then Jinzhi will trouble the girl."

 The most important thing is to be calm and self-possessed, and have extraordinary bearing!

Shen Nian followed his example and cupped her hands, "You're welcome."

Xiao Zhi looked at her soft face that seemed to have no edge at all, and his eyes were full of smiles.

 Madam is pretending to be harmless again.

 Forget it, he should cooperate with her.

 When Shen Nian met this man's eyes, he felt as if he could see through her, and his eyes were filled with inquiry.

 Quite cautious... Prince Xiao was amused and lowered his eyes calmly.

"Wait for me, I'll tell my parents and then take you up the mountain." Shen Nian said.

 Xiao Zhi nodded, "Okay, please excuse me, girl."

 Hearing that their daughter was taking someone to the mountains, Shen Er and Li Xiuniang looked worried.

 “Sister Nian, dad will go with you.” Shen Er couldn’t refuse.

The two of them didn't know that their daughter was so bold that she had long regarded the mountains as her own back garden.

Li Xiuniang nodded in agreement, "My husband has to follow me. It's business, but if I go to the mountain alone, I'm not sure how I'll be arranged in the future."

After saying that, he was still worried and said: "How about calling a few more people."

Shen Er is very self-aware of himself and is afraid that he will not be able to protect his daughter, "I need to call more."

The more people we have, the more powerful we are. If we encounter wild beasts... we have a slightly better chance of winning.

 After making the decision, Shen Er found a few friends and told the situation.

No one said no, they all agreed, **** their trousers, took some dry food, and walked up the mountain.

 At this time, Village Chief Shen took Xiao Zhi to the foot of the mountain.

 Seeing Shen Er and others, he warned uneasily, "It's dangerous in the mountains, you must be careful."

Shen Er and others knew about the village chief's good intentions and said, "Don't worry, village chief, we will do it."

 “Guaranteed to come back with a lot of money.”

Shen Nian went home and changed out of her skirt, dressing up as usual for going up the mountain.

 She had her hair tied up, looking energetic and sassy.

 Carrying a big bamboo basket on his back, he said calmly, "Let's go."

Everyone who was being pulled by their family members to be careful looked at each other, touched the tips of their noses uncomfortably, and hurriedly followed.

 There are people coming and going at the bottom of the mountain, and the road is relatively easy to walk.

 An hour later, there was no way to see the road under my feet, and the grass was taller than people.

 As the villagers at the foot of the mountain, everyone was a little panicked at this time.

"Sister Nian, there is no way out." Shen Er looked around and listened in all directions, staying close to Shen Nian's side, and suddenly said.
